Incldently, John won a trophy in the feature at Columbus last month. Sandra Akers joined the Women's Air Corps and is stationed in Novia Scotia. She was promoted to Sergeant and is in charge of feeding the Corp's Homing Pigeons. Judy Klng became a successful writer after her graduation from Indiana Busi- ness College. A few months ago, one of her stories appeared in True maga- zine. Information on the care of guns, was the title. After extensive training, Barbara Bessire decided to swim the English Channel. She set a record as being the only woman to ever swim the Channel blindfolded. She later returned to Nashville where she was made honorary lifeguard at the Park Pool. Glenna Greathouse and Dean Roberts were living on the coast of Japan at the last report. Dean owns a pearl farm and goes deep sea diving for relaxation. Glenna ls a frogman for Red China, spending several hours a day trying to get to Formosa. Now you know of the outstanding success of the Seniors of '59. Each member of the class has embarked upon a profession worthy of him. We hope, that ln the future, rising generations will remember us, and use our memories as an inspiration to do greater, and more noteworthy deeds.
